Revolut's founder on trial

The article reports on a legal dispute involving Nik Storonsky, founder and CEO of the UK-based financial technology company Revolut. Cecil Wright & Partners, a British intermediary firm, is suing him for approximately £15 million in commission, claiming they facilitated the sale of a luxury superyacht named Nixie valued at over £300 million. The yacht, built by the renowned German shipyard Lürssen, was presented to Storonsky by the intermediary in 2024 after he sought a suitable vessel. The firm alleges that they arranged initial contact between Storonsky and the yacht’s then-owner, Canadian entrepreneur Patrick Dovig, who founded Green For Life. Storonsky has stated he will not go bankrupt even if he has to pay the commission, citing his current net worth estimated at around $18.8 billion by Forbes, placing him among the world's 150 wealthiest individuals.
